Re: [java-gnome-hackers] Starting to think about the next release

[Vreixo F. L. <met...@ya...>]

Hi!

I have some work in progress, maybe some things could be part of 4.0.8. However, I'll take vacations next week; if you delay release till, say,
15th August, I'll have time to review and submit you some patches. 

I'm thinking mainly about Pango, but maybe we can make some progress with gstreamer or gconf. And, of course, I have several tiny coverage aditions I've been using these months but still lack documentation.

Cheers
Vreixo
